Un grande amore e niente più ciao Mario grande Tenore per la tua bella serata voce che mi ha fatto vedere la tua foto. Grazie a te e a tutta la tua famiglia. Ciao Mario
He debut in 1940 and retired i think 1975 so 35 yrs his best years were from 1940 to 1963, serious car accident and the vocal tecnique of lower larynx eventually took any softness from his voice but he still sang on after 63 but in almost only dramatic roles
Del Monaco had an almost fatal car accident that left him in dialisis for the rest of his life. And even after that he sounded fantastic. Not like before, but very good. Sang more that 300 Otellos, without counting all the other operas. Bad technique? I would like his tecnique for myself!!
MDM despised petty criticism like this as they often came and still come from people that have not an earthly clue as to what it takes to make a sound like MDM. He would punch you in the mouth, several times.
He only lasted 30 years and his vocals were still in tact close to retirement.So I really don't know what you mean when you say "he lost it early".and his technique was perfected for the dramatic repertoire that he sung which covered about 12 signature roles.
Instead of rejecting your comment I will just say I could not disagree more. You do not have to run down MDM to prop up DiStefano and Caruso. Your opinions are just that, yours and nothing more.
Sing better than "no melody" than M. Monaco, is impossible in the performance of the song reflected all that is best in Italian tenors - a genuine passion, sincerity, temperament, charisma. The voice of M. Monaco, gentle and powerful, a rare combination and is typical of Italian singers.
This is a unique song: it's written for a woman, yet all the "real men" - Gobbi, Caruso, Carreras, Del Monaco etc etc, all sang it without a care in the world. Domingo is the only one who rewrote the words to be more appropriate for a man.
Sin lugar a dudas uno de los mas grandes del repertorio dramático , pero su voz en ocasiones simplemente no se escucha tan atractiva como otros Corelli, Di stefanno y por supuesto La bellisima voz de Lanza.
I'm not tryig to bash him he is one of the greats but he had one sound, very loud. He had a gigantic voice but the reason Corelli is considered more thrilling is because he could hit a note blossom it and his voice would just
There are many examples of Del Monaco on YT singing mezza voce. I saw both Corelli and Del Monaco live. They were both thrilling but in my opinion Del Monaco was more thrilling and a cleaner singer accompanied by impeccable diction impetus phrasing and great high notes. Corelli also thrilling, had a warm voice using mezza voce and diminuendo, but he ran ahead of tempos to get to his great high notes, used excessive portamento where not written, rolled his Rs, occasionally scooped to his upper high notes and occasionally lidded but it was very noticeable when singing in French. Total evaluation for me: Corelli was a great tenor and one of my favorites
He was a great Otello, and was quite worthy in some other operatic roles, but, alas, as with so much else, he often is just loud and crude. All the grace and elegance of the song is lost approaching it this way-try di Stefano, Caruso, and others to hear how it should be done. This is not a satisfying rendition, despite the powerful finish.
My opinion is not thoughtful and "hero worship" because I disagree with his opinion? You can take your comment and shove it up your ass. Neither you or Labienus could carry MDM's water. Unless you can sing better and prove it with video then keep your petty criticisms to your self.
his voice is huge,powerful,explosive,rich but it is oversung always, hence the reason he lost it early. Nonetheless, he sang his roles well and was the best of his time. One can only wonder though what the suond really be like if his technique had been more perfected, and healthy.
I am not running him down-just being honest. I praised what he did well, and for goodness sake, Caruso, especially, needs no propping from anyone. I just listened to it again, and aside from the ludicrous lip synch, I dislike it even more. Fine disagree, but tell us why-and I am offering an evaluation of how he sang this particular song/aria (it's acutally from his opera Mala Pasqua c.1890) Try following the words-his singing is all of one tone (not a particularly pleasing one) no caresses here.
E' un messaggio divino, come tutte le registrazioni di Mario Del Monaco

Cristallo purissimo la sua voce.

Beautiful how could 14 people not like this performance. Brilliant.
Lost it early???? Huh??

Bad technique? I would like his tecnique for myself!!

@viv3147 Non ne ha azzeccate una...parlo del suo commento...però può sempre ritentare cari saluti
Grande!
Carino il presentatore che ha annunciato i due brani: musica proibita und catarri catarri :)
He only lasted 30 years and his vocals were still in tact close to retirement.So I really don't know what you mean when you say "he lost it early".and his technique was perfected for the dramatic repertoire that he sung which covered about 12 signature roles.
Maybe he or she meant by He should have stayed on earth for 1000 yrs

you are trolling,right?
Lost his voice early ??? Such a foolish statement expressed with such confidence hahaha.. Enough "experts" OK ???
PUES DECIDIR ENTRE CORELLI Y DEL MONACO , CON TODO EL RESPETO DEL MUNDO ME QUEDO CON LANZA.
maestro gastaldon is dead since 1939...
hm
Don't even remember writing them. I will not hesitate to say that I still find some things in his later heads

Technikque of del monaco was perfection
I wrote that years ago when I was an idiotic kid lol. MDM 4 life!
maybe not early, but he didnt have muh of a voice in the later years of his life

Later years that sound pretty awful
